Koolhandnick Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 OK So I'm trying to get a flexi disc to work on my turntable. The turntable is an Ion profile pro(cheaper USB style). Anyways I'm trying to play my Streetdogs GOP flexidisc and the needle won't make contact with the grooves when I lower the arm. It keeps returning everytime. I guess it has something to do with the weight of the arm. Will the "penny trick'' work? any tricks or advise appreciated, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 If it has an auto arm it way not work. You are supposed to put a penny on the flexi itself to keep it from slipping, but it doesn't sound like that's the provlem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 A. Maybe put something under the flexi so it raises it to make contact with the needle. B. get a new turntable (Jk Jk sorta) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolhandnick Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks guys, I kinda got obsessed with buying flexis and die cut vinyl to add diversity to my collection. I do know that flexis have horrible playback though, oh well! I did try putting a seven inch vinyl underneath to see if it would play, but no luck. The card still looks cool though. Any advice on a decent upgrade for when I've got some dough? $100-$200 price range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Depends on what you want to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearchuck Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yeah, flexis ... blah. They're more of a novelty. Keep em in your collection, but listen to the digital version of the songs. It will be a much more rewarding experience. Koolhandnick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 If you really need to play it, maybe put a bunch of slipmats on the table to raise it to the height of a normal record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
